Reference Manual for the Model HR314 802.11a Hi-Speed Wireless Router Wireless Channel Selection IEEE 802.11a utilizes 300 MHz of bandwidth in the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) band. Though the lower 200 MHz is physically contiguous, the FCC has divided the total 300 MHz into three distinct domains, each with a different legal maximum power output. The radio frequency channels used are listed in Table B-4: Table B-4. 802.11a Wireless Channels U-NII Band Frequency (GHz) Max. Power Output Low 5.15 - 5.25 50 mW Middle 5.25 - 5.35 250 mW High 5.725 - 5.825 1W Note: The high band is not supported in the Model HR314 802.11a Hi-Speed Wireless Router. IEEE 802.11a uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), a new encoding scheme that offers certain benefits over a spread spectrum in channel availability and data rate. The 802.11a uses OFDM to define a total of 8 non-overlapping 200 MHz channels across the 2 lower bands; each of these is divided into 52 subcarriers and each carrier is approximately 300 KHz wide. By comparison, 802.11b uses only 3 non-overlapping channels. Network and Routing Basics B-13
